Varvara came out of the house, and screening her eyes with her hand, as though from the sun, she looked towards the church. "It's the priest's sons with the schoolmaster," she said.

I am amazed! Is it possible that thou didst not love thy son? How is it that thy appetite has not disappeared? How canst thou eat that cabbage-soup?"

She paid not the slightest attention to the trial, regarding it as though it were something entirely irrelevant, and she listened only to the manner in which the others were answering the questions, to hear whether the voice was trembling, whether there was fear, whether it was necessary to give water to any one. She could not look at Vasya in her anguish and only wrung her fingers silently.
